very pleasant and comfortable accommodation. Good location for visiting the Ring of Kerry. The adjoining restaurant looks excellent.

Jack's Coastguard Cottages are in a great location where you can see the most beautiful sunsets. The place is very big and perfect for self-catering when you're travelling with family/friends. Would definitely stay there again!

Rita2017-04-14T00:00:00Z

A good place to stay with good value for money if you are happy to stay in a secluded spot. The drive to the nearest big town is about 10 minutes. Without a car it would be very difficult here. The owner runs adjacent pub and hence no interaction with him. The walk to the nearby cromane bay is beautiful,

Anurag2017-07-11T00:00:00Z

We had a brilliant holiday. Brian was very welcoming and helpful. The location is great as it was almost half way between Valencia Island and many of the beautiful spots on the Dingle peninsula. In addition to this the scenery right outside the door is beautiful.

Rebecca2017-06-19T00:00:00Z

This accommodation was perfect for our discovery of the Ring ok Kerry. Our 2 and 4 year olds enjoyed the proximity to the sea.

Damien2017-07-19T00:00:00Z

Beautiful House in a nice surrounding and great Restaurant. We really enjoyed staying here.

The house is located in a very beautful and quiet aera and Joanne is a very kind and helpful host. Thinks to her.

Veronique2017-08-18T00:00:00Z

How come Airbnb reviews only go up to 5 stars? I wanted to give Joanne's place 7 stars.... Joanne's cottage is spectacular. The views are breathtaking. A 5 min drive from Cromane. The accommodation is fantastic and Joanne and Damien are superb hosts....

Rory2017-08-04T00:00:00Z

Margaret (Peg) was there to give me a warm welcome when I arrived. She made sure that I was comfortable and had everything I needed. Their home and my room, (with ensuite bathroom) were very clean, quiet and spacious. The ocean view is spectacular as well as the pastoral setting of sheep grazing next door right outside my bedroom window! Peg is fantastic in the kitchen and fed me some of her excellent homemade food when I arrived as well as for breakfast. They are a kind and considerate couple and made every effort to assist me in whatever I needed during my stay. I had rented a car, however they offered to drop me wherever I needed to go if I desired. They are located just off the Ring of Kerry tour route, 10 minutes from Killorglin route and 20 minutes from Killarney. I highly recommend staying in this beautiful location if you want to experience the true flavor of the Irish coast.

Joy2016-11-05T00:00:00Z

My wife and I have had real success finding extraordinary places to stay in Ireland, and Peg's place continued a very happy tradition for us. The room: A+. New, clean, incredible bed, plus a sitting room overlooking the Atlantic inlet and the mountains beyond. No one can go wrong with that! The service: A+. Peg and Gary are wonderful people who helped us out a lot and in various ways during our 2-day stay. And the breakfasts were perfect - everything you need to start your day without weighing you down. Even us Yanks said "spot on!" Location: A++. You can easily hit every spot along th Ring of Kerry within an hour's drive from this Air BnB. Thanks again, Peg!

Michael2017-07-08T00:00:00Z

Margaret's home is set in stunning countryside and is an ideal base for anyone wishing to explore the local area and ring of Kerry. Lovely small town and restaurants close by. Margaret was the perfect host, warm, friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast she provided for us, healthy and nutritious. The house, and our room, is lovingly decorated, clean and comfortable. Top marks from us!

Noeleen has such an amazing place. The description of the space is quite accurate; the room, the view, the soaking tub... I could go on about everything that we loved here :) So glad that we made her house one of our stops on our journey!

Shannon2016-06-06T00:00:00Z

Our experience was great. Noeleen and her husband were so welcoming and their house is wonderful. The upstairs suite was so big, and the balcony was even better than in pictures. Noeleen was kind enough to drive us into town for dinner and we were able to take a taxi back. We also left behind a bag by accident and Noeleen really went above and beyond to help us ship it back to our place in Los Angeles. Easily the best Airbnb we've stayed in and we couldn't recommend it more.

Eric2016-09-02T00:00:00Z

We had a great stay at Noleens amazing home. The view is amazing, it is nice quiet, the bed is comfortable and the room is big and very nice. Couldn't be much better! We'll definitely come back when we visit Ireland again.

Hannes2016-08-20T00:00:00Z

Such a nice house! We had a lovely and pleasant stay on Noeleen and Paul's house. The room is just amaising with the private big bathroom and the view! Just perfect for our last night in Ireland to have wonderfull souvenirs! Thank you so much again for all your advices and your informations on the region. I recommend this house!

Virginie2016-07-23T00:00:00Z

Noeleens home is beautiful and has a beautiful view! The breakfast was very well and we had a pleasent stay.

Felicitas2017-04-13T00:00:00Z

Noeleen's house was gorgeous so was the view! We arrived late on a Saturday evening and she was very flexible and understanding of the late check in. Our suite was located on the second floor of the beautiful house so even though we shared the house with them it felt very private. Noeleen also provided us an awesome breakfast in her sunroom / living room. All the amenities were very thoughtful and felt luxurious. Her house is also only a 10 min drive to the town center which has a lot of nice restaurants. Stay here, you will love it!!

Lu2016-06-27T00:00:00Z

Wish we had had the time to stay here one more night, we just had one night here. The view is amazing and mesmerizing. Very relaxing. Bed and bathroom felt very luxurious, had a great nights sleep. Noeleen and her husband were friendly and had good suggestion for where to eat and what to see in the area.

Staying with Helen was like being home. She was the best host I have ever had on airbnb. She has created a very relaxing and cozy environment in her house. We didn't want to leave!!! Her and her husband were incredibly kind and generous people. Thank you so much for hosting us Helen!

Julianne2015-03-02T00:00:00Z

Very nice host. Very warm welcome. An address to remember

Sandrine2015-07-26T00:00:00Z

We had a lovely stay with Helen! She was very welcoming and friendly, and gave us great advice on the local beaches and restaurants, as well as where we should stop off on the rest of our trip. We headed to Jacks for dinner which is a short walk away- slightly on the pricey side but amazing food and views over the sea. House is exactly as described, and very well located. Helen also fed us very well with tea and cake when we arrived and an amazing breakfast in the morning! We would definitely recommend staying here. Thanks for having us Helen, and maybe we'll be back next year to do the Ring of Kerry cycle!

Debbie2016-05-31T00:00:00Z

Helen welcomed us very well and we immediately felt at home with her! We arrived at night in the rain and cycling had not eaten. She was quick to lend us her dryer and heaters to warm us and our clothes! She also prepared a delicious meal. The song of the Auvergne Brassens could be dedicated to him: "It is your song You Helen who, without speaking, Gave me four pieces of wood When in my life it was cold. ..... It was nothing but a wood fire But he had heated my body And in my heart, he still burns In the manner of a bonfire ... ..... It is your song You Helen who, without speaking, Gave me four pieces of bread When in my life he was hungry. ..... It was nothing a little bread But he had heated my body And in my heart, he still burns In the manner of a great feast ...

Marie2015-06-03T00:00:00Z

It has been an unforgettable experience. The location is perfect, close to wonderful places, very calm, ideal for getting lost in nature and relax. We have been made very short our stay, just two days. I think we need more time to discover and feel the environment. The house is beautiful, clean and cozy, inviting you to relax. Finally I lack words to describe the kindness of Helen, made us feel like family, offering hospitality ... whatever we may need. The good enough for a "hard" day of exploration breakfast, varied and.

Lourdes2015-06-28T00:00:00Z

Helen is a great, loving hostess, conjures up a delicious breakfast and is very child friendly! Thanks for the lovely accommodation and hospitality!

An amazing welcom by Helen, with coffee and very good homemade carrot cake ! She is a nice host, smiling, radiant, taking good care of her guests. The room was nice, the house welcoming, near the beach where is possible to go walking. The breakfast, prepared by Helen with pleasure, was very delicious and copious. It was a very nice place to stay, and we recommend everyone to go there ! Liliane & Philippe

Clais na Trá, our holiday home in Cromane, is located in a Special Protection Area close to the Wild Atlantic Way, on the scenically-magnificent west coast of Ireland. Experience stunning uninterrupted sea and mountain views in a peaceful setting. A superb base for a 'get away from it all' holiday, a quiet retreat, or spending quality time with family or friends out and about, or trying something new.
Unwind and relax. Enjoy this magnificent setting. Make some memories.

Clais na Trá, named after the fishing dock it overlooks, is a traditional bungalow with four comfortable bedrooms offering accommodation for 6 people, situated towards the end of a quiet cul-de-sac/single track road. It is just 30 minutes' drive from Kerry Airport and five minutes from Dooks Golf Club.
Enjoy stunning views of Castlemaine Harbour, Inch and then the wild Atlantic Ocean beyond from the front, with fields and views of the Macgillycuddy Reeks, at the rear.
The sitting room looks out on to Castlemaine Harbour (as do three of the bedrooms) and comfortably seats five. There is a woodburning stove which can be lit if the evenings turn cool. The stove will be prepared for your arrival with some fuel provided. (Additional fuel is easily obtained at the local store.). A Blue Tooth speaker enables guests to plug in their mobile phones and enjoy music of their choice. This is a cosy setting for re-living the day's stand out moments, relaxing with a good book, listening to music, browsing the Internet or planning the next day's activities.
Having a good night's sleep is an important part of any holiday. All the single beds have anti-allergy duvets, and all beds have electric blankets, adding a little touch of luxury for tired bodies turning in after a day's sightseeing or walking in the hills.
The kitchen-diner has an electric kettle, electric fan oven and a gas hob, a four-slice toaster and a standard microwave. There is a generous fridge-freezer. The charming traditional family farmhouse table will seat six people. The kitchen has all the equipment needed for preparing simple meals and local supermarkets stock an appetising range of freshly-produced convenience foods, as well as the local specialities such as fresh seafood, for which the area is renowned. If dining out appeals, Jack's Coastguard Restaurant is about a mile away and Killorglin (5 miles) and Glenbeigh (8 miles) both have a wide variety of eateries to suit all pockets. Please note there is no dishwasher - only the human variety!
The modern bathroom has a shower over the bath as well as a separate hand set. A non-slip mat is supplied. This must be used at all times when taking a bath or shower as the bath surface is very slippy when wet.
The utility room is accessed via the back door of the house and is the location for an additional sink, the washing machine, steam iron, ironing board, clothes pegs. It is also the place for hanging coats and leaving outdoor shoes.
Lawns at the front and back of the house provide plenty of space for relaxing outside on the four folding garden chairs (included for guest use) taking in the wonderful views and having a glass of wine on a summer's evening. Previous guests have enjoyed a barbecue using disposable barbecues which are readily available locally. (We ask that guests take responsibility for disposing of the barbecue and leave no trace.) Because of the house's elevated and exposed position, be prepared to pop on a layer or two even on the sunniest of evenings. We mention this for those who might be especially interested in star gazing on a clear night, in an area with very little light pollution.

Clais na Trá is an ideal base for those interested in spending time in a quiet, unspoilt area touring, walking, cycling, playing golf or simply taking it easy by the sea. Approximately two miles from the bungalow is Cromane Beach suitable for swimming in the summer, rock pooling or simply taking in the sea air when the tide is out. Close by, is Jack’s, a fine dining restaurant and pub. There is also a number of eating places to suit various pockets in Killorglin and the nearby village of Glenbeigh; we are happy to offer advice. And if you prefer to eat in, sunsets on fine summer evenings are a special treat.
There is a vast choice for days out to suit all ages and interests. You choose! If you enjoy playing golf, you have a choice of courses locally, with the closest - Dooks - being within a five-minute drive away. Visiting Dingle to the west incorporates some stunning scenic driving. As well as wandering around this charming harbour town, you might want to take to the sea to see Fungi, the local celebrity dolphin! Further to the west are the Blasket Islands, now no longer inhabited but visits are possible by boat and there is also the Blasket Heritage Centre at Dunquin which helps visitors to explore the islands' fascinating history. Another major tourist attraction within 45 minutes’ drive from the property is the bustling town of Killarney with its superb National Park. Head south from the holiday home and visit Valentia Island, accessible by a quick hop on a ferry or across the bridge from Port Magee. Take in a tour of the island’s historic lighthouse. Do you like chocolate? Visit the Skelligs Chocolate Factory and see their delicious chocolate being made. You may be forced to taste some too, before you leave!
While holidays are a time for relaxing with family or friends, they can also be just the opportunity you have been waiting for to try something new. If any of the following appeals, just let us know and we will do our best to make arrangements for you.
Ever thought about learning to surf? The Offshore Surf School based at Inch (1 hour from the holiday home) offers two-hour sessions with qualified instructors. It is not just an activity for the under 30s, remember!
And there might be other outdoor adventures you might like to try such as Stand Up Paddle Boarding, Kayaking, raft building, bushcraft. Let us know.
You might want to take in a visit to the Killarney National Park with a guided cycling tour during which you can learn about the flora and fauna of the Park, its history and castles. Your guide will want to know about the interests of individual groups and equipment is provided. (Minimum of three participants required.)
Or you might want to spend a day cycling around the area near to the holiday home. We can arrange to have bikes delivered to, and collected from, the holiday home.
Maybe you have always fancied getting out in to the wilderness but are fearful of getting lost? We can put you in touch with a guided walking tour company. Walks will be tailored to suit the group’s needs with the emphasis on enjoyment, rather than endurance. The company even takes groups on ascents of Carrauntoohil so think about aiming high if you have a reasonable standard of fitness. And if a day’s walking sounds a bit too strenuous, this company can also take groups of six on road tours.
Ever wondered about the health benefits of yoga? A local qualified instructor can give one-to-one yoga sessions or will provide an hour’s session for your group at her yoga studio in Killorglin.
If you would like to try your hand at fishing, we have guides from a local club who can provide a day’s fishing that might even help you provide the evening meal!
Would you like to try a massage? Or a reflexology session? Let us know and we will see what we can do for you.

Excellent scenic location - bugalow is very quiet and was comfortable for our group of 5. Everything was as in the photos and description; bungalow is very clean and organized with provisions in fridge and home cooked apple pie provided. Communication was very easy and everything was well explained. Communication in advance of visit was most helpful to plan trip. Overall, highly recommend.

I think Cromane has to be one of the most peaceful and unspoilt spots on the planet, with my place close to the beach, dining, pubs and golf. You’ll love it because of the views and fresh sea air and it's good for couples, solo adventurers, business travellers, families (with kids), and groups. I also have a small chalet available in addition to the bungalow which can accomodate a single/couple, so if you are interested in something smaller and a bit cheaper- lets chat.

I think Cromane has to be one of the most peaceful and unspoilt spots on the planet, it really is the perfect place to get away from it all and relax. The house/apt is lovely, cosy and comfy in the right places, and the views of the mountains are just glorious.

The house is in a quiet spot off the peninsula of Cromane, with the sea and a pebbled beach at the end of our road and mountain views in front of us. We're only two minutes walk (500m) from Jacks Coastguard restaurant and pub- which does great food and is very family friendly, so that's handy if you don't feel like cooking yourself, or fancy a guinness without having to drive to get it. There is a local shop 2 minutes away ( by car) if you run out of essentials like milk, and we're five miles from the local town of Killorglin, where you can find shops, supermarket, more restaurants & pubs (10 min drive). Dooks golf course is 2.5 miles away (6 min drive) as well as Dooks beach, a lovely sheltered beach where you can while away the hours with a good book or let the kids happily play. It's a lovely spot for walkers too, you can happily potter about for miles...The Ring of Kerry is also close by...so all in all, plenty to do if you feel like some activities, and plenty of peace and quiet if you don't.

We so loved staying at Anne's place. She and her husband were so welcoming and helpful! Their place was roomy , clean and very comfortable! Beds very comfy and a good night of sleep for the 4 of us!! Anne was a great communicator and we especially enjoyed the welcome tray of tea, coffee, milk and treats! The views outside were wonderful and very relaxing!! We were in the Ring of Kerry, and close to Killarney and Muckross Farms. We also enjoyed a date night dinner at Jack's sea house!

Sherry2017-06-13T00:00:00Z

Anne and her husband were absolutely lovely. The bungalow was great and we had a lovely stay! The beach is BEAUTIFUL at sunset!

Hannah2016-08-29T00:00:00Z

This was a fantastic location to operate as our home base for exploring County Kerry. The house was located in the perfect position to drive around both the Ring of Kerry and the Dingle Peninsula, and was close to Glenbeigh and Killorgin, quaint towns with great places to eat and walk around. The house was perfectly equipped for what we needed for the weekend -- comfy beds, internet, full kitchen, and best-in-Ireland shower pressure. Anne was an amazing host - available, promptly responsive, and very helpful. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

Dan2017-06-05T00:00:00Z

Had a lovely visit to Kerry. Great location to tour that area. House quiet and very comfortable, area peaceful and so scenic. Anne was a terrific host and very helpful.

Carol2017-07-01T00:00:00Z

Anne and her husband were lovely hosts. The space was absolutely perfect for our family of 4. Lots of room to spread out. The location was perfect for exploring the Ring of Kerry and Killarney National Park. We loved our nightly walks along the beach to Jacks down the road for drink. Thank you Anne for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Katie2017-08-10T00:00:00Z

The stay at Anne's place was really enjoyable right from the check-in till check-out.Anne and her husband were there to receive us and walked through all the amenities in the house. The house had amazing views of the mountain and lake and it was better than the photos :). Would definitely come back during my next visit to Kerry/dingle .Thanks Anne. Rgds Naveen N

Naveen2017-06-28T00:00:00Z

Anne's place is beautiful and a great place to stay if you want to explore the ring of Kerry or Dingle Peninsula. It was a pleasure meeting Anne and having a chance to chat with her during check-in and check-out. Her place is family friendly and she provided everything you would need for a comfortable stay.

Rebecca2017-08-26T00:00:00Z

Anne has a beautiful home across the lane from the beach in a beautiful part of Southwest Ireland, with easy access to the Ring of Kerry and the Dingle peninsula. We used it as our base camp while we explored that entire region for four days. Anne and her husband live in an attached part of the house, making it easy to stay in contact when needed, but never too intrusively. The space was large, with three bedrooms - each with its own en suite - a kitchen, and sitting area. We took advantage of the washing machine/dryer, and the cooking area for a couple meals. It's a bit remote, down a narrow lane, but that's what we were looking for to relax after each busy day!

Just Off Wild Atlantic Way, my house is only a 10 minute walk to the nearest beach and we are surrounded by magnificent views including the Magillycuddy Reeks. Dooks Golf Course is a spectacular Links course located only 1km away from the house. The house is very homely and warm and has a large back garden with trampoline and swing, ideal for kids to play outside in the evening.

The house is laid out with the living room to the front of the house with the kitchen and dining at the back which is South facing making it very bright. These room are overlooking the garden and views to the Mcgillicuddy Reeks Mountain range. Down the main hall you have 3 double bedrooms with the master en-suite, main bathroom and also a utility room. For entertainment we have Sky tv, Broadband and Netflix. Please also note that electricity and heating is included in the price.

It is a lovely place to stay in a picturesque rural setting. The Cromane/Dooks area is a small community and we have a local shop, football field, Jacks Seafood bar and restaurant. Dooks Golf Club is also only 1km away.

Rachel's house was clean, spacious, well-equipped and in a beautiful location, and her brother Marcus was on hand to settle us in and answer any questions that came up. We stayed for the weekend when some of our party cycled the Ring of Kerry, we hired bikes locally which worked out very well. Oh, and the sun shone every day!

The house is clean cozy and beautiful. Everything is there what was announced. There is a large fenced yard, a trampoline, plenty of space for children to play. The view is great, the location is quiet, the beach is within walking distance. Many interesting places are accessible close by and easily accessible by car. A good place for a leisurely stay.

christine2016-07-27T00:00:00Z

Rachel and Marcus are a wonderful host, very friendly and welcoming. We loved the beautiful cottage which isn't too far from the two towns on either side. Rachel's cottage has a beautiful view from all the rooms & there is a lovely beach at a close distance. The cottage had great open space for parking too. The cottage is very well done and had all the things needed to spend time comfortably, it also had Netflix which was a plus for us. It has a great garden with swing for kids & an outdoor dining area where we enjoyed the breakfast with morning sunshine :) We had a great time and would highly recommend this cottage to all travellers especially if visit to Killarney & Ring of Kerry is on the itinerary. Thanks Rachel & Marcus. Hope to visit someday again :)

Aasma2017-07-19T00:00:00Z

Beautiful setting, miles of green grass and cows and the sweet smell of nature was heaven for us coming from the smelly crowded streets of NYC. It was paradise for my two boys to run around barefoot in the spacious yard and the trampoline was amazing. (Even tried it a bit myself:). Beautiful area to visit, loved Jacks seafood restaurant which was very nice, walking to Dooks beach and loved Rossbeigh beach which was 10 minutes drive away. House was perfect.

Rachel2017-07-31T00:00:00Z

We spent two wonderful nights at this house. It was great for our family of 5. We walked to the beach 10 minutes up the road (you could drive it too - easy parking and totally private). The backyard was fabulous. Rachel left plenty of kitchen essentials including oils, and spices.Right off the Ring of Kerry.

Marla2016-08-05T00:00:00Z

We had a great stay and would highly recommend Rachel's house. It was great value and a fabulous location and our hosts were very helpful.

Deborah2016-08-07T00:00:00Z

We loved our 4 nights at Rachel's bungalow. Marcus, her brother, came over to meet us shortly after we arrived and helped us to get our bearings of the local area. We had everything we needed, lots of hot water, a huge TV, a big garden with a trampoline, washing machine and dryer, internet and great countryside. We didn't get any sun but we still found plenty to do - Dingle, the Ring of Kerry and the Ballagisheen Pass. There's a great walk nearby to the local beach - about 10 minutes from the house. Marcus visited again on our final evening to check everything was ok. Would thoroughly recommend Rachel's house.

Susan2017-07-06T00:00:00Z

Beautiful house in the middle of the countryside, spacious and well-equipped, near the sea, plenty of game for children, lot of things to see in the region. We recommanded, thanks Rachel !

Paul2017-08-23T00:00:00Z

Can't say enough good things about our stay at Elaine's. First it's a full sized house. Not just a holiday home or guest house. Elaine was the perfect host. She even played your guide for us taking to all the main places to go in Killarney. Her place is off the beaten path so it quiet, and peaceful, yet easy access to the Ring of Kerry and Killarney if you a little more hustle and bustle in your day but want to relax and recharge at night. Highly recommend. We'll come back again

Samuel2017-09-04T00:00:00Z

If you're looking for a spacious,tranquil,country setting this is the place for you.We loved our stay here.It is the perfect base to explore the Ring of Kerry and the beauty of Kerry itself!

A lovely host and great location. Nice and quiet and very close to killorglin and the ring of Kerry. House was lovely And spacious. Great we could light the fire as well. Thanks Elaine

we had a great time in this spacious and comfortable house. we were welcomed kindly, even though we arrived late at night. we were provided with everything we needed and even much, much more! the house itself is luxurious, very quiet and well situated, kept away from touristic hustle. so all the five of us agree that this house was even better than expected and one of the best accommodations we ever had!!

mark2017-08-17T00:00:00Z

Fabulous house for groups with kids. Plenty of space to run around outside. Spectacular scenery in the surrounding countryside. Only wished we could have stayed for longer.

Bryan2017-08-07T00:00:00Z

Lovely house, spacious yet cosy. Excellent amenities. Quiet area but a walk from the local pub. Hire bikes from Killorhlin, they will drop them at the house & cycle round Caragh Lake. For eating cook in , visit Jacks in Killorglin or walk to the Red Fox .

Great value for the money. Cromane is a quiet little town with very little other than Jack's but we had a lovely time. The BnB itself is a small house with everything our family needed and we had the best meal of our trip next door at the restaurant. We hope to return and wholeheartedly recommend.

This original post and beam house is on the beach and just down the road from the beautiful Dooks golf course.
Completely independent, this place is perfect for a family get away, or a peaceful and relaxing weekend. Go for long walks or just chill out in the cozy living room. Surround yourself with wooden beams and handmade quilts.
You’ll love our beach house because of the ambiance, the location.......and the views are stunning....!

This house is located on the beach front. It's perfect for people who love to walk. The golf course is close by so perfect for golfers too. There is a fully equipped kitchen if you feel like cooking in the house and we can advise you where to go for your groceries.

The nearest town is Glenbeigh, 7 minutes by car, where you will find a few local pubs, a grocery store, a post office and petrol station.

Paul and Marys beach house is truly a little slice of heaven! The location is breath taking, we enjoyed so many glorious walks along the beach with our two dogs. The house itself is luxurious with loads of little touches and everything you could need, we could have stayed forever. Paul and Mary went above and beyond to cater to our every need, we can't recommend the place more.

Tracy2017-07-15T00:00:00Z

We had a perfect stay at Paul and Mary's! We spent three nights there over a bank holiday weekend. It was a great location to explore the Ring Of Kerry. We also went on a day trip to Dingle, which was about an hour away. The house was spacious, impeccably clean, and had everything we needed. It's right on the beach, so we enjoyed a few early morning strolls with our dogs. Paul and Mary were great hosts: easy directions to find the place, great communication, and they even left us bread and homemade marmalade for breakfast! Definitely recommend!! Thank you Paul and Mary for our great stay!

Derek2016-10-31T00:00:00Z

We had such a lovely time at Pinewood! Paul, Mary, and George were all very welcoming. Mary and Dad even played a round of golf together at the local club (and she beat him! She's good! Watch out! :) ) the house was very comfortable and spacious. The beach was lovely and had great scenery. I hope to stay again soon. I would highly recommend anyone looking to stay here!!

Courtney2017-05-12T00:00:00Z

We had an amazing time staying at Paul & Mary's beautiful home located right next to the beach. We enjoyed taking walks on the beach and paddle boarding, all while enjoying the stunning scenery. Paul & Mary were so welcoming and friendly and made our stay that much better! Everything we could possibly need was available, and the home was spacious, comfortable, and full of charm. Just wish we could have stayed longer!

The Rós Dearg bungalow is typical of what one should expect for a getaway in the Irish countryside. A traditional and cosy open plan bungalow scented by the wood burning fireplace. This space makes you feel relieved of the unnecessary complications of every day living.
This enchanting bungalow is centrally located for touring the Ring of Kerry, the Wild Atlantic Way, the Dingle Peninsula, Killarney National Park or visiting the World Hertitage site, Skellig Michael (Star Wars filming location) and an array of other beautiful tourist attractions.
Walking, angling, cycling, horse riding, mountaineering, orienteering and kayaking are just a selection of what is on offer on the doorstep of luxurious country house. Golfing in Kerry is a must with over 10 breath-taking links and parklands golf courses less than an hour’s drive from the door of this house.
However you may just want to relax and unwind with a good book and a glass of wine or an Irish whiskey in the meticulously tended garden of Rós Dearg. There is also an in-house sauna room available which is the ideal way to recover from any daily activities.
Or you may prefer to follow the garden trail down to the private pier which rests peacefully above the surface of Caragh Lake. Here you will get lost in the picturesque scenery of the mountains bearing down on the lake, untarnished by development. The still and silent lake with relaxing sounds of nature echoing in distance defines the true feeling of complete tranquility.

Less than 5 miles from Killorglin town. Which is host to an array of friendly bars, shops and other ammenities.

Helen's house is wonderful. It is comfortable, quiet, and has a view of the lake. Helen was very accommodating and stocked the house with bread, milk, butter, and an apple pie.. The house's location is convenient--close to the Ring of Kerry and the Dingle Peninsula. I would highly recommend staying here.

Eleanor2017-08-27T00:00:00Z

Ros Dearg was exactly as described - peaceful and tranquil. It was very comfortable with everything that we needed and is the perfect location for touring the Ring of Kerry and surrounding areas. The house is spacious with beautiful grounds leading down to the lake. Helen was a great host - meeting us on arrival and leaving us wine and pie and supplies in the fridge.

Rosemary2017-08-23T00:00:00Z

Ros Dearg is a great base from which to explore the Kerry region. It's convenient for the airport, Tralee, Killarney, the Ring of Kerry and the Dingle Peninsula. So you're close to the action, but absolutely hidden away from it all - off a quiet road, down a long drive, nestling among tall trees, with a garden gently sloping down to Caragh Lake. If you're used to city noise, be prepared to experience the sound of silence. It's blissfully quiet, and you'll sleep like a baby. The beds are comfortable, the lounge cosy, and the kitchen modern and well equipped. Despite the rural location, the broadband clocks up an impressive 10Mb, so you're away from it all but still cruising down the information superhighway. The lounge has a big picture window that you can gaze out of as you feel your everyday worries melt away. Or you could sit and have afternoon tea on the patio, with the wind gently rustling in the trees and the sunlight dancing on the lake. There's an excellent supermarket just down the road, and a wide range of restaurants in Killorglin, as well as haute cuisine just around the corner at some of the country houses, so you won't go hungry. As for Helen, what can I say? She's warm and welcoming, helpful and friendly - the perfect host. Nothing is too much trouble, and any problems are sorted out quickly, efficiently and with a smile. Go on, book it now! Not for a day or two, but for a week. You won't want to leave... :)

Kevin2016-09-23T00:00:00Z

This house is a gem. The house itself so comfortable. The garden and lake are wonderful. A sauna after a dip in the lake was magic. Helen couldn't be warmer. She was so helpful and accomadating. A homemade apple tart was the icing on the cake. We made great memories here and will definitely be back.

Conor2017-08-03T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful stay here that exceeded our expectations. Helen was such a kind host. We had a smooth arrival and really enjoyed the scenery and this very comfy home with all the amenities and more.

Anastasia2016-06-27T00:00:00Z

By far the nicest airbnb we have ever stayed in. We stayed here as part of our honeymoon and the house and location were perfect. As many have said before, the pictures do not show how beautiful, large and comfortable Helen's place is. The garden (or should I say grounds?) is beautiful and scenic and the secluded lake at the bottom of the garden is stunning. The house has absolutely everything one could need and more and Helen even left us some breakfast and a bottle of prosecco to congratulate us on our wedding. We would love to stay here again.

Benedict2017-08-11T00:00:00Z

Our stay at Helen's place was wonderful but too brief - we only stayed two nights. It is serene and private, spacious and clean. It was one of our favorite Airbnb stays. The location is perfect for exploring the area. You need a car to get around. Great communication and helpful recommendations. Good place for two couples or a family. Thanks for everything. We loved our stay at this beautiful home.

Angela2017-06-12T00:00:00Z

Spacious four bedroom bungalow set in the tranquil surroundings of Caragh Lake.

Our home is on a private road in Caragh Lake. The house itself is 250sq metres on nearly an acre of mature garden. Each of the four generous sized bedrooms has an ensuite with an additional family bathroom. There is also an outdoor seating area.

Caragh Lake is a stunning area of natural beauty surrounded by mountains and forest. You will be well away from the tourist trail but only a short drive from the main Ring of Kerry road. Our home is a 5 minute walk from the lake shore, 5 mins drive from the Kerry Way walking route as well as numerous magnificent walking routes and 10 minutes drive from a selection of beaches including Dooks and Rossbeigh.

We just loved this home! With our two kids and dog we headed down to the Kingdom. We received a warm welcome from Millie (beautiful golden Labrador) and we went to explore the house. It's in a great location, a stones throw from Killorgan and very central for day trips. We were made feel at home by Niamh despite her not being there and by their wonderful neighbours. I stay in a lot of Airbnb listings however it's fair to say we all felt sad leaving as we felt it was a home away from home.

On the Wild Atlantic Way & Ring of Kerry. Sceilig Ring recommended by Lonely Planet. 4k from Killorglin. Large bedroom. Own sitting room with real fire! Bunk beds €15 pp nightly. We could accommodate a 5th person.

You have full use of your own private sitting room where you relax, watch tv or a video ( I'm sure we have some that you'd enjoy) read a book, plan your next day's adventures or have a relaxing drink in front of an open fire on a chilly evening ( of which we have our fair share). Kitchen is NOT for use of guests.

Rural setting very quiet except the sound of cattle and tractors. Killorglin has some good pubs and restaurants including Chinese and Indian. Killorglin Golf club and Dooks golf links are close by - I have 2 sets of clubs that you can borrow. Rossbeigh beach and nice walks are close at hand. The Sceilig Ring, which is off the main Ring of Kerry, has been voted one of the top 10 places in the world to visit by The Lonely Planet travel guide.

A great place to stay. Rory, Therease and Oscar the family dog made us feel so welcome. The location is great and Rory has great knowledge of the local area. Rory is a great cook and offers a fantastic three course meal in the evening for a really good price. He even cooked healthy meals for our 16 month old at no extra cost. If you only book for one night, you will wish you booked for to stay longer!

darren2016-07-08T00:00:00Z

Our stay was perfect here! We received a warm welcome from Oscar (the red setter) we had a lovely chat and tea when we got there and Rory was wonderful at giving suggestions for things to do. The room is nice a big with a bathroom- the separate sitting room was lovely with fireplace and piano. Warm scones made by Therese in the morning. It is as like we had known these two forever. You'll definitely need a car for this stay.

april2017-06-11T00:00:00Z

Rory and Therese are extraordinary, available and a rare kind. Many great advice we have been given for visits. Their dog, Oscar, very cheerful and nice, made the children of joys. With a car, the location is ideal to visit as Kerry, Killarney or Dingle that. No need to stay in Killarney. We strongly recommend to check it out.

Marc2016-07-20T00:00:00Z

It was an absolute pleasure staying with Rory, Therese and Oscar(their super excited and friendly dog). Their place is a very short drive outside of Killorglin in a nice neighborhood. It is very big and comfortable! They lit a fire in the living room which is just for guests and made a delicious breakfast!Would definitely stay here again! Thank you!!!

Martina2017-04-12T00:00:00Z

Enjoyed my stay at Rory's. He was kind enough to meet us in the town to show us where he lived. He also recommended places to eat and sites to see nearby. The room itself is very spacious and clean. He lit a fire for us in the den so we could watch tv before bed. He and his wife also made us a delicious breakfast very early so we could get going early. This is a great place to stay for the Ring of Kerry (we did the ring backwards so it was the last town, but you could easily use Rory's room as a base to start). Would recommend!

Meredith2016-09-21T00:00:00Z

Rory was a wonderful host! He picked us up at midnight when we were late arriving to town. The room was clean and very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious. He and Therese were very helpful with travel recommendations and even provided us with maps for our journey! Such a wonderful experience.

We've a lovely old, refurbished cottage in a secluded wooded location beside the lake. We're in the process of refurbishing other buildings on the site and the grounds surrounding it.

It's an old cottage that has been renovated bit by bit over the last few years. It's not 5 star luxury so please don't expect that. Summer 2015 was our first time letting it as a holiday home so it's a reasonably new experience for us, but our guests seem to be very happy. (If you are not comfortable with spiders please don't book because it's an old place, and you will see some spiders from time to time!) There's one main bedroom, a kitchen/dining room, a living room (with pull-out sofa bed) and a bathroom. It's a comfortable space now, but please bear in mind that this is a work in progress and there are little things that still must be done, and the price reflects that. Everything we earn from it we re-invest in order to maintain and improve the house and surrounding grounds. In 2016 we put a phone line in and also wi-fi and high-speed internet.

It's a quiet neighbourhood, about 1.5km off the main Ring of Kerry road. There's a track from the property leading down to the lakeshore which is only about 100 metres away. It's not possible to walk along the lakeshore as there are other private residences there, but if you have a boat you are welcome to launch it from our section. You may need assistance in getting the boat down to the lake so let us know in advance and we will arrange for that to be done when you arrive.

Staying at Brian's cottage was the highlight of our trip to Ireland. I was very sad to close the door when we left. It is in a beautiful spot and very spacious. Close to town, and to many of the sites on the coast. Also an easy drive to Carauntoohil if you are looking for a spot to launch your hike. The loaf he left for us was delicious, and lasted us for all of the brunches we had while we were there. A great place!

Nance2016-07-07T00:00:00Z

We did feel welcome, it wasn't very clean but the host's Mom was doing her best in a short time. we cleaned the kitchen and corners and felt a bit more comfortable but I couldn't wait to move on. The location was fine for sight seeing Dingle and Ring of Kerry but I wish I had booked closer to a village so I could spend less time in the cottage. It was very quiet which I was looking for.

Merrilee2016-09-19T00:00:00Z

Brian's cottage was exceptionnal ! The location was great, the surroundings was wonderful (old farm with access to the lake), the cottage was large and we feel very comfortable. We enjoyed evening in front of the fire. We strongly recommand this location !

Great experience, suddenly here we dive into the traditional! Ireland superb little cottage with a small wood stove so cozy in the middle of a supernatural kind. The lake next door is beautiful and Brian had the extreme kindness to us with their canoes! This has really very well received with her mother they had prepared a very good cake! Too bad we are arrived late and very tired or we would have shared with delight the tea time with them! Undoubtedly, if our way back through over there we will stop there

What a joy to discover the Brian housing once through the door! From the first minute, we felt right at home. First & although the weather was fairly mild, the provision of wood to light the stove every night adds an undeniable charm to stay! Then we enjoyed the simple & rustic decoration hair (big favorite for the wooden cabinet table the centerpiece). Finally we slept like marmots with the surrounding peace! Big crush, so for this accommodation which allowed us to shine on the Dingle Peninsula & Kerry! I do not forget to mention the kindness & Availability Brian!

My place is 5 minute walk from Dooks beach and 10 minute drive from Rossbeigh beach. We have views of Inch beach and Dingle Peninsula. We are close to the Kerry Way which is ideal for walkers. We are situated one kilometre from Dooks Golf Links. It is a great base for holidaying in county Kerry as we are located in the centre of the county. We are 30 minute drive from Killarney. It's close to the Dingle Peninsula and we are bang in the middle of the beautiful Ring of Kerry.

The nearest town is Killorglin which is approx. 10 km away again with more restaurants bars and traditional music. The area is noted for our wonderful choice of seafood restaurants with Jacks Coastguard Station Restaurant just 2 km down the road.

Everything was very nice.

Joanne and Damien were so wonderful very helpful and so welcoming! Their house is gorgeous and very clean and the views are stunning. Will definitely be staying here again when in Ireland!

Joanne and Damian are the perfect hosts! They respect your privacy; but also are very open to conversations and help to ensure that every part of your stay is perfect. Their home and surrounding area is beautiful. As a bonus, Kola (their dog) is just as friendly as his pet parents.

What a beautiful place! A thatched house between meadows on a hill overlooking the sea and Dingle - you hardly can find a better place to stay on the ring of Kerry. Outside and inside are perfect and designed with a lot of taste and high quality. The room is clean and spacious, enough for four adults. Joanne, her husband Damian and Cola the dog are very charming hosts. We had interesting talks. Damian took us on a little trip and explaned us, how he prepares the turf bricks for the chimney. Their restaurant tip was very useful: we had an evening with good food and music at the Olde Glenbeigh Hotel. Dear Joanne and Damian, you have a little paradise! We are lucky, we could share it with you for a short time.

Beautiful house in a quiet and scenic landscape. The room was big with a nice bathroom. Everything was clean and tidy. Moreover, the breakfast was great. Joanne was the perfect host.

The host are very friendly and helped is to see special places in Kerry. Go for a walk at the windy gap, it is easy and great. There is so much to see!
